No, stupid. Microsoft's entire setup of linking Passports to Gamertags is horrible, flawed, literally illegal, and until they fix it, I'm not supporting their BS.

(I don't mean this sarcastically) but how is it illegal, exactly?

It doesn't allow you to remove billing information, including credit card numbers, even by request. Companies cannot legally store your credit card information on file without your permission, and they must remove it if you choose to.

That just seems like a mistake to me...because that's a really big issue, and it seems like they wouldn't do something that blatently moronic of purpose...I'm surprised nobody's caught them on it, and disputed it.

Yeah, it does blow ****. My gamertag is linked to an email I don't even use anymore and I have no idea how to change it.

I entered in an MSN messenger tag that I don't use and I have no idea how to change it. I would like to be able chat but to hell with it!

****, I'm just plugging in my keyboard and it's fine. I'm not going to pay $30. Maybe $20 at the very most.

i wouldnt call support for typing 'keyboard support' i'd call it gimped keyboard support.
MS should wise up and let usb devices like keyboards and mice be used at the gamers and game developers choice. i know companies like epic would jump all over that and add some really good keyboard/mouse support into UT3, and let the gamer choose what they like to control with.
